“All Americans wanted fairness, and they got it this evening,” said Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, the Massachusetts Democrat who played a pivotal role in drafting the legislation. The bill was approved 12-6.

FAIRNESS????? WHAT A CROCK OF BULL****!! I have never seen any person so out of touch. Who the hell does he think he is?? That is the most heinous lie I ever seen. Lord, I'm mad!! What we got we the "Royal Screw."

I watched this buffoon pretty much all day with his NAY's and YAY's louder than anyone else's like he was the only toad in the puddle. He interrupted other people and acted like their opionions were nothing compared to his. If people asked him a question, he didn't answer it. I was really UNimpressed with his actions.

Why is he on any committee anyway.

And keep in mind, you people, this is just a Senate Judiciary Committee vote. It doesn't mean this any any law and it could still get stuck in the shredder so don't give up hope yet.

I just wanted to ask or be clear about what I have read.. They say all Americans... etc., and our representatives serve citizens and registered voters, but These people are not Americans, or citizens, we are talking about people who smuggled themselves and/or broke the law to get into this country or have avoided legal routes to citizenship, and also work without paying taxes right? And/or use someone else’s social security #, they call themselves immigrants not Americans, I say criminals and lawbreakers, right?. We are all immigrants in the sense of the term no one was born here except Indians and Eskimos, but we have citizenship and support the current legal system. But registered voters, tax payers, and citizens do not call themselves immigrants they say I am an American, Why? I say No Amnesty for criminals, and do not add to your parties vote or add supporters by making voters out of criminals and lawbreakers, there are plenty of people wanting to wait and take the legal, moral route to citizenship and call themselves Americans, not Immigrants. What are they calling an Immigrant is it not an American, its an Illegal lawbreaking criminal who avoided the route to legal citizenship and still is not a citizen, a voter, or one who supports American values or the legal system and laws, or that fought and died for our country. i.e. veterans, they cannot, unless we give them amnesty or pardon their criminal lawbreaking past. There is not one immigrant who fought for this country that calls themselves an immigrant, they say I am an American, right? They may think they are Americans because they live here, but they are still criminals, and have no respect for the current laws which Americans do have respect for, and have followed. We strip the rights away from current American citizens we call criminals or felons, lets not start giving rights to people who did not follow the law in the past, what does this say about our legal system?
